    Backtesting options strategy without option historical data?

    I was thinking about that too, because to use historical data is probably difficult because you need historical bid/ask prices. To backtest certain options positions (like straddles , strangles, butterflies etc) in a systematic way would be nice to do. Even if its only on theoretical option...
